The raw, unpleasant feeling in a part of your body when you are hurt — a burn, a cut, an . From this bodily hurt, pain stretches two ways: inward to the hurt of the heart, and outward to the effort and trouble that 'hurts' to put in.
From the word’s history
English 'pain' comes via Old French 'peine' from Latin 'poena' meaning penalty or punishment; the older 'punishment/penalty' sense survives in fixed phrases like 'on pain of death', while the everyday sense shifted to bodily and mental suffering.
pain 經古法語 peine 來自拉丁語 poena,原意是「處罰、刑罰」。這個較古老的「刑罰」義保留在 on pain of death 這類固定說法裡;而日常的 pain 則轉成了身體與心裡的「痛苦」。
